The shiny lip is because of the skin glue I use to try to provide a little bit of extra support to the skin while healing.
I used to use removable sutures, but either we had to return to the OR to remove those sutures, or we'd hold the baby really snugly to remove them ever so gently in the clinic, but that was pretty traumatic for everybody - baby, parents, and surgeon.
The sutures along the rim of the nose are for the primary tip rhinoplasty, which seems to help both short-term and long-term.
This is offered to help provide realistic expectations that there is an in-between time, from surgery, to early recovery, through scar maturation and further growth, to reach our final result.
